“We’re working around the clock to make this happen,” says Brian Jenkins, co-founder of Chosen 300 Ministries (seen in doorway in top photo).

The nonprofit group has spent the past two years transforming an old bank building near 40th Street and Lancaster Avenue into a top-notch, three-story dining facility.

“We have the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, we have the custom paint job, the hardwood floors,” Jenkins says with apparent pride. “That way, when people come here, they won’t feel like this is the ‘poor people’s’ meal.’ ”

The new location will also offer job training, grooming, and other services.

And, Jenkins adds, they’re almost at the finish line thanks to Jay Hambleton of Hambleton Builders, who has spent scores of hours volunteering.

“When you see the lives that he’s affected,” Hambleton says of Jenkins, “that’s why I do this.”

Wendell Alston (below left), a former drug addict, says he owes his current success to Chosen 300.
